Sub 12 secs - nice one.  :cool:   Shaved a second off that last 60' time as well.  You must be chuffed.

The 60' time has always been 1.7 to 2.1 seconds. I need to try and get it down to 1.7 flat and then it should be even quicker on the 1/4 time. :smiley:

Now you've seen off the 12 s -  new 1/4 mile target?

No, I'm almost done. Always wanted 400bhp with great spool and 12 seconds on the 1/4 mile.

After this level costs go up exponentially for comparatively small gains.  :shocked:

So what's next?   New project?

Reducing weight, brakes, eye candy. Plenty to do yet. :wink:

Update.......

The R is in the middle of having a new development exhaust fitted.

Full stainless steel system with 3 1/2" downpipe and 3" system. Lovely quality with even the flanges being made from investment cast stainless steel. Superb quality TIG welding too. Eventually it will have blued titanium tips to add a bit of bling to the rear. Should hopefully free up a few horsies. Sounds absolutely mental at full tilt!

Always good to see a bit of juvenile artistry around a car of this quality!  :grin:

Custom exhaust fitted. 3.5" downpipe and 3" straight through system fully TIG welded with cast stainless flanges and 4" slash cut titanium tips.



Cast flanges.




A little video/sound clip  :cool:

Only one deep pop on the overrun from 4krpms as that is the max rpm's I can do with the DSG at standstill, but pops and burbles much better from higher revs on the road.
